<p>bassoonmom - this is confusing, I know, but this thread is last year's awards, and I'm thinking you meant to post on the other thread for 2008, right?</p>
<p>Anyway, congratulations. So where is he heading, do you know yet? Utah looks good! :D</p>
<p>Thumper1 - do you mean in-state tuition was not offered at UNT? That's worth at least $16k a year off the top. UNT is totally affordable for scholarship students, even out-of-state.</p>
<p>Otterbein-$9,000 music, $9,500 merit.
Loyola Nola-$2,000 music, $12,000 academic
Frost-goose egg. and goose egg.</p>
<p>Violinmom...DS didn't receive a scholarship at UNT at all. He made the mistake of doing an audition NOT on the UNT campus. As he put it...that was a big mistake. He was accepted on the spot when he auditioned...but his scholarship "audition" was on tape. He should have flown down there. You are correct...when a student at UNT receives a scholarship in excess of $500 a year (I think that is the amount), they also get instate tuition. Even without that, the costs are modest.</p>
<p>UNT classical department may be different. But for vocal jazz, your audition specifically for jazz scholarships is on CD or DVD only, not in person -- at least that is my understanding. (And would make sense, considering that at least one of the audition performances has to be with a live rhythm section) </p>
<p>We have been strongly advised to audition in person, on-campus, for best chances for admission.</p>
<p>UNT's scholarship/tuition waiver policy is if you qualify for ANY competitive scholarship -- talent or academic -- valued at $1000 and up annually, out-of-state students pay in-state tuition rates.</p>
<p>God, I hope my daughter gets in. That is such a sweet deal!</p>
<p>Vic, that is what they say, but my D was also accepted on the spot at her audition, and offered a scholarship before she left the room at UNT. She took a DVD and gave it to them, per the instructions on the website but they had not watched it yet...guess they have some leaway.</p>
<p>IU, "dean's scholarship"(is it merit?academic?) 12,000. The rest of whatever(FAFSA +?) will be known later in May. D is an out-of-state MM student .</p>
<p>Random Q: Has anyone accepted to Frost (at UMiami) gotten a scholarship?</p>
<p>Jeremy....yes. I know a student who got a $24,000 a year award.</p>
<p>$24,000 is the amount of the presidential scholarship for merit through the university. S awarded that, but not a music scholarship.</p>
<p>Not true, my D got 24K at Frost. It's called the Constance Weldon Scholarship.</p>
<p>Sorry. Thanks, that's good to know.</p>
<p>In case it matters: I thought that was from the music school but was awarded for leadership. I thought it is also not awarded to first year students.</p>
<p>No, it's a merit scholarship. She has it for all 4 years (she's a soph--for a few more days at least--)and she has to maintain a certain average in music and non-music courses and some other criteria. Probably ensembles and stuff. It is for 3/4 tuition and it increases each year as tuition increases. It was $24K freshman year, $25and a bit this year.</p>
<p>2007- D, horn performance:
CIM, $20,000 per year, merit
Oberlin Conservatory, $14,000 per year, merit-conservatory deans scholarship+ very generous other grant aid
CCM, $2500 Conservatory; $5000 academic merit</p>
<p>Kansas University-$10,000 National Merit; $1500 Music
U Colorado @ Boulder-$1,000 Music
CCPA-$12,000 Music; $2,000 Dorm stipend
Mannes-$15,000 Music
MSM-$8,000 Music
UMiami Frost-$24,000 Academic
Juilliard-$20,000 Music</p>
<p>Ultimately it was Juilliard that gave the largest percentage of total cost.</p>
